GOAD is a pentest active directory LAB project. The purpose of this lab is to give pentesters a vulnerable Active directory environment ready to use to practice usual attack techniques.
This lab is extremely vulnerable, do not reuse recipe to build your environment and do not deploy this environment on internet (this is a recommendation, use it as your own risk) This repository is for pentest practice only.
This lab use free windows VM only (180 days). After that delay enter a license on each server or rebuild all the lab (may be it's time for an update ;))
- Installation is in two part :
- providing : it is made with vagrant, it download and run empty windows box.
- provisioning : it is made with ansible, it will install all the stuff to make the lab running like an active directory network
- You are on linux, you already got virtualbox, vagrant and docker installed on your host and you know what you are doing, just run :
# providing
vagrant up
# provisioning
sudo docker build -t goadansible .
sudo docker run -ti --rm --network host -h goadansible -v $(pwd):/goad -w /goad/ansible goadansible ansible-playbook main.yml
- Now you can grab a coffee it will take time :)
So far the lab has only been tested on a linux machine, but it should work as well on macOS. Ansible has some problems with Windows hosts so I don't know about that.
For the setup to work properly you need to install:
- virtualbox actually the vms are provided to be run on virtualbox so you need a working virtualbox environment on your computer
-
vagrant from their official site vagrant. The version you can install through your favorite package manager (apt, yum, ...) is probably not the latest one.
-
Install vagrant plugin vbguest:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
(not needed anymore) -
Vagrant install with hashicorp repository example :
wget -O- https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install vagrant=2.2.19
- If you want to do the provisioning from a docker container you could launch the following command to prepare the container
sudo docker build -t goadansible .
-
If you want to play ansible from your host you should launch the following commands :
-
Create a python >= 3.8 virtualenv
sudo apt install git
git clone [email protected]:Orange-Cyberdefense/GOAD.git
cd GOAD/ansible
sudo apt install python3.8-venv
python3.8 -m virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
- Install ansible and pywinrm in the .venv
- ansible following the extensive guide on their website ansible.
- Tested with ansible-core (2.12)
- pywinrm be sure you got the pywinrm package installed
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install ansible-core==2.12.6
python3 -m pip install pywinrm
- Install all the ansible-galaxy requirements
- ansible windows
- ansible community.windows
- ansible chocolatey (not needed anymore)
- ansible community.general
ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
Vagrant and virtualbox are used to provide the virtual machines and Ansible is use to automate the configuration and vulnerabilites setup.
- If you previously install the v1 do not try to update as a lot of things have changed. Just drop your old lab and build the new one (you will not regret it)
- Chocolatey is no more used and basic tools like git or notepad++ are no more installed by default (as chocolatey regularly crash the install due to hitting rate on multiples builds)
- ELK is no more installed by default to save resources but you still can install it separately (see the blueteam/elk part)
- Dragonstone vm as disappear and there is no more DC replication in the lab to save resources
- Wintefell is now a domain controller for the subdomain north of the sevenkingdoms.local domain
- the lab take environ 77GB (but you have to get the space for the vms vagrant images windows server 2016 (22GB) / windows server 2019 (14GB) / ubuntu 18.04 (502M))
- the total space needed for the lab is ~115 GB (and more if you take snapshots)
The default domain will be sevenkingdoms.local, on the subnet 192.168.56.1/24 and each machine has only been allocated with 1CPU and 1024MB of memory. If you want to change some of these performance settings you can modify the Vagrantfile.
To have the lab up and running this is the commands you should do:
- VMs creation
pwd
/opt/GOAD # place yourself in the GOAD folder (where you cloned the project)
vagrant up # this will create the vms (this command must be run in the folder where the Vagrantfile is present)
- VMs provisioning
- in one command just play :
ansible-playbook main.yml # this will configure the vms in order to play ansible when the vms are ready
- To run the provisioning from the docker container run (you should be in the same folder as the Dockerfile):
sudo docker run -ti --rm --network host -h goadansible -v $(pwd):/goad -w /goad/ansible goadansible ansible-playbook main.yml
- Or you can run playbooks one by one (mostly for debug or if you get trouble during install)
- The main.yml playbook is build in multiples parts. each parts can be re-run independently but the play order must be keep in cas you want to play one by one :
ansible-playbook build.yml # Install stuff and prepare vm
ansible-playbook ad-servers.yml # create main domains, child domain and enroll servers
ansible-playbook ad-trusts.yml # create the trust relationships
ansible-playbook ad-data.yml # import the ad datas : users/groups...
ansible-playbook servers.yml # Install IIS and MSSQL
ansible-playbook ad-relations.yml # set the rights and the group domains relations
ansible-playbook adcs.yml # Install ADCS on essos
ansible-playbook ad-acl.yml # set the ACE/ACL
ansible-playbook security.yml # Configure some securities (adjust av enable/disable)
ansible-playbook vulns.yml # Configure some vulnerabilities
- when you finish playing you could do :
vagrant halt # will stop all the vm
- to just relaunch the lab (no need to replay ansible as you already do that in the first place)
vagrant up # will start the lab
- if you got some errors see the troubleshooting section at the end of the document, but in most case if you get errors during install, don't think and just replay the main playbook (most of the errors which could came up are due to windows latency during installation, wait few minutes and replay the main.yml playbook)
ansible-playbook main.yml
This lab is actually composed of five virtual machines:
- kingslanding : DC01 running on Windows Server 2019 (with windefender enabled by default)
- winterfell : DC02 running on Windows Server 2019 (with windefender enabled by default)
- castelblack : SRV02 running on Windows Server 2019 (with windefender disabled by default)
- meereen : DC03 running on Windows Server 2016 (with windefender enabled by default)
- braavos : SRV03 running on Windows Server 2016 (with windefender enabled by default)
- winterfell : DC01
- castelblack : SRV02 : MSSQL / IIS
- kingslanding : DC02
- castelrock : SRV01 (disabled due to resources reasons)
- braavos : DC03
- meeren : SRV03 : MSSQL / ADCS
The lab setup is automated using vagrant and ansible automation tools. You can change the vm version in the Vagrantfile according to Stefan Scherer vagrant repository : https://app.vagrantup.com/StefanScherer
- elk a kibana is configured on http://192.168.56.50:5601 to follow the lab events
- infos : log encyclopedia : https://www.ultimatewindowssecurity.com/securitylog/encyclopedia/
- the elk is not installed installed by default due to ressources reasons.
- to install and start the elk play the following commands :
- uncomment the elk vm in vagrant and provision with
vagrant up elk
- uncomment the elk vm in vagrant and provision with
# { :name => "elk", :ip => "192.168.56.50", :box => "bento/ubuntu-18.04", :os => "linux",
# :forwarded_port => [
# {:guest => 22, :host => 2210, :id => "ssh"}
# ]
# }
- you need
sshpass
for the elk installation
sudo apt install sshpass
- Chocolatey is needed to use elk. To install it run:
ansible-galaxy collection install chocolatey.chocolatey
- play the elk.yml playbook to install and run elk:
ansible-playbook elk.yml

vagrant up
- start only one vm :
vagrant up <vmname>
- stop all the lab vm :
vagrant halt
- drop all the lab vm (because you want to recreate all) (carrefull : this will erase all your lab instance)
vagrant destroy
- snapshot the lab (https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/snapshot)
vagrant snapshot push
- restore the lab snapshot (this could break servers relationship, reset servers passwords with fix_trust.yml playbook)
vagrant snapshot pop

- In most case if you get errors during install, don't think and just replay the main playbook (most of the errors which could came up are due to windows latency during installation, wait few minutes and replay the main.yml playbook)
ansible-playbook main.yml
#### Groups domain error
- something go wrong with the trust, all the links are not fully establish
- wait several minutes and relaunch the playbook
- i really don't know why this append time to time on installation, if you want to investigate and resolve the issue please tell me how.
